Also, you know, intellectual people do sometimes go into manual trades because no office politics and no supercilious supervisors breathing down your neck. I mean, I've heard that. Uh, from a friend. Not me!
"Marxist-Leninist Construction Worker" Every time I see this guy in the Hipster coffee shop downtown I make a U-turn. He spills the sugar everywhere over the counter.
My father, a union carpenter (retired) with a Master's in philosophy, would use perturbed and "radical philosophy," but I doubt he would use "fashionable intersectionality."
My older sister taught me as well, and at the same age, but at first I refused to learn because I somehow got the idea that if I couldn't read, I wouldn't have to go to school. My mother set me straight. A few years later I heard my mother say "We should never have taught that child to read, because she's always got her nose in a book."
We must be sisters. At first I wanted to be a paleontologist, then an archeologist, then an architect, then a psychologist, then a lawyer. It was only when I grew up and realized that in order to be really successful in those fields I would need a Ph.D. or J.D. that I gave up those ideas. I really hated school - I didn't hate the learning part, I hated the INSTITUTIONAL part. I made it through a master's degree but the thought of spending 2-3 more years getting an advanced degree was anathema.

Saw them open for the Honey Drippers back in the day
Me too. I figured this out in kindergarten, but I couldn't articulate it well until high school.
A person is either born a Reader, or they aren't.
I'm pretty fond of the Honey Drippers...
Ah, Breitbart, just like Generalissimo Francisco Franco ... still dead.
I saw them when they opened for Captain Beefheart!
I asked my older sister to teach me, I was three at the time, almost four. I felt left out since everyone else was reading something.
Finger Lickin' good

Are we long lost sisters? I heard the same thing. I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a microbiologist, or an archaeologist.
